Norway

Hey guys :) First off I want to make a rant... Luls -____- woke up as normal, took the bus as normal, had PE the first two hours of the day... Buuuut the teacher was ill and home in bed so we had two hours free time... And the third class we have today is English, project, so self education... So the first three hours of today was WASTED D':

Prepare to read about the most awesome country in the world!
Norway:
 Our flag.

Now, Norway is a long, pretty big country. Here in Norway we have "Many fjords and fjells" Many fjords and mountains :p



But even though Norway is a big country, it's only filled with 5 million people (Compare it to japan with over 100 million people on a somewhat small island)

Compare the crowd to this picture:

Many people think that Norway is like the North pole, COLD. While not wrong, we got some pretty warm summers with temperatures averaging around 20-25 degrees Celsius in the summer days, and (give me a blanket and a warm fireplace!) in November, December, January and February the temperature is pretty low. Some years it can get as cold as -40, -50 degrees Celsius. Under normal circumstances I don't believe that the temperature will drop below -30 degrees Celsius, most likely averaging around 15-23 degrees Celsius.

And contrary to popular belief we do not have ice bears as house pets. (The Russians still do though! :o)

Norway's national day is 17th May. It's our national day because that's the day we became independent from Sweden. We celebrate it by walking in parades, express our happiness and love for out country :)

Our national costume is called Bunad. There are MANY different types of bunads depending on where in the country your from.

I can't come up with any tourist attractions that I myself find entertaining.
But we got Nidaros Cathedral, a pilgrim checkpoint. It's located in Trondheim.


 We also got various amusement parks, most known "Tusen Fryd"


Norway hosts one of the worlds largest LAN (LAN means Local Area Network, where people are connected to the same Local Network, and play games locally (not over the internet) )
The Gathering!
The Gathering is held in the Viking ship in Hamar. Here's a few pictures:
